And They Say Money Can't Buy Happiness.. ($1500 Giveaway)

First off--Happy Valentines Day to all of you little lovers.

I feel like I have failed in my blogging duties by not creating a cute little Valentines day card to share with you all, however I fail in many duties so why not add that one to the list? HOWEVER. To make up for it I thought I would offer you something way better than chocolate, love, or roses. We're talking money.

And lots of it. $1500 in fact...because $1000 would've been too boring.

That's right.

One of you lucky little love birds will take home a $1500 VISA gift card come next week.

And they say money can't buy happiness. Pssssssssh. Tell that to the person who wins this.

Below are the 31 beautiful women who put this prize together for you and seriously--you need to check each and every one of them out. It's like circles upon circles of all of my favorite people.

Oh hey real quick before you go getting all rich on me. I did get you a Valentines card.

I would plan the most amazing bachelorette party ever for my best friends who is getting married in July. Her party is already going to be amazing, but it would be that much better so some extra like a limo for the night or an amazing suite for all the girls for the weekend!

In the spirit of Valentines Day I think I would fly to my boyfriend who is 5500miles away and take him on a Valentines Date. The winner will be announced after Valentines Day but since we can't do ours until the middle of March anyway - what the hey! Awesome giveaway :) May the best lady win..and may I be the best lady.

I would definitely plan a family vacation and take our 2 boys to the beach somewhere. :) I think they'd have a blast and it's not really something we can afford to do in the foreseeable future. Thanks for hosting this awesome giveaway!

I would surprise my sweet, hard working husband with the honeymoon we were never able to take! We got married in October, and because we were both still in school, decided to book our honeymoon for the week before Christmas, while we were on winter break. A few days before we were supposed to leave for our snowy Vermont honeymoon my aunt passed away pretty suddenly. We didn't have a lot of time to prepare for this, as she was only in her mid 40's! It was a hard time for my family but I'm glad we were all able to be together. Anyways, to make a long story short, that's why we never went on a honeymoon and there's nothing I would love to surprise him with more! Keeping my fingers crossed on this one - thanks for hosting :) xoxo! Eliza

I need some new clothes as I am losing baby weight. But, I would also use some of it to go on vacation as my husband is taking off for a week at the beginning of March, but we don't have the money to go away :) ~ Andi T.

This is truly amazing! And quite possibly an answer to my prayers! You ladies are amazing! I would put it towards my student loans and my bills since I only have 7 weeks left in my job. And then no clue where to go from there..

With $1,500 I would spoil myself a little (new clothes (okay, yogapants) & a much needed mani/pedi)..I haven't done that since I was pregnant & my daughter is over a year old now! Do some redecorating & stash a little away for some mama/daughter fun time.

This is just nutty! I can't even imagine winning this much money. I would definitely pay off my darn student loans and put some towards a trip for my parents to repay them for selflessly giving me so much my whole life.

I would take about $1000 to finally replace my wardrobe and my husband's wardrobe because we've both been wearing the same closet full of clothes since early high school years. I would take the other $500 and buy a ton of stuff to continue my random acts of kindness!

I would pay for an over the top princess party for my little girl's 3rd birthday. I think my boyfriend would appreciate that I took financial responsibility over the party-- it usually gets very expensive!

If I won the money, as much I would LOVE to go buy some new clothes, I would take my mother out for supper and do a special valentines day for her. 4 days before Christmas her love was taken from her when he fell over board while lobster fishing. Christmas just wasn't Christmas and life has changed as we knew it. She's an amazingly strong woman and I don't know how she's kept it together. We've always been close but this has made us ever closer. I left my boyfriend short after his death because one of his friends told me how much is bothered him that I would let someone treat me like that and that he had planned to confront my ex. So I left my toxic relationship in honour of my late stepfather figure. Mom and I are both struggling to keep our heads above the water, so as I would put some of the money towards our bills and payments, I would also treat her to night out with flowers and everything that George would have given her. :)

Wow this is one of the best giveaways I have come across!!! With $1500 I would take care of my chihuahua's vet bills (he is due for some shots, antibiotics, and teeth cleaning). With what I had left I would invest in a good camera so that I can teach myself to take my own blog pictures since I current do not have a regular photographer.

Here's hoping your haircut tonight was top notch! We've been really budgeted lately, so I would use the money to do something really fun with my kiddos-- zoo, shopping, ice cream 'til we pop. YOu know the drill.

First off, what an amazing and generous giveaway. You ladies are so gracious.

If I were to win this giveaway, I would get some new clothes, a camera, and do some damage at Ulta and Target. As a mom of 4, my needs/wants kind of fall to the wayside! I would also probably buy each of the kids something, because that's what mamas do :)

I read and appreciate every one of your comments. Thanks for stopping by my space and sharing a piece of yourself on this huge ole internet. I meant that in the least creepy way possible. I'm just good at making everything awkward. Anyhow, thank you for your comments. They make me smile :)
